How much money would it cost to get a mini to 260hp?

I know a 2002 mini has about 115hp, how much money would it take to get it to 260hp+?|||A mini-wheezer motor isn't capable of 260+ horsepower if you pushed it out of a flying box car at 40,000 feet. The best professional racing engine shop may squeeze 30 horsepower if you spend more money than the car is worth.





You'll need a stroked crankshaft a bore job through the water jackets with new steel sleeves pressed in, forged pistons, stiffer connecting rods. expensive high compression cylinder head work, port matching, intake and exhaust port reconfiguriation, new induction system, free flowing exhaust system and a camshaft that will ruin your fuel economy.|||Actaully, no, it does NOT have 115 horsepower.





The engine does. Minus transmission, intake, exhaust, and all other forms of restriction.





Actual wheel output? Closer to 90.





So, you're asking to triple the horsepower output of your vehicle.





Cost? Around $10,000-$15,000.|||a turbo will give you 75 to 100 horsepower more for 4 to 6 K american dollars...you can get 75 more with nitrous oxide about 400/500 but it aint gona last long unless newly rebuilt for that HP.
